And this then enables me to feel safe enough putting a small amount (the satellite) into riskier investments. 

@Nancy Bachety Yes, I am invested in Jacksonville in a Class C area both are SFR that I rent furnished which enables me to capture class A & B tenants to them for their short stays.

My tenants are school teachers, bus drivers, court officers, landscapers... just regular working folk.  

Personally I think with your background you could use those funds to buy a note and let experience take over as a teacher.

It can also be affected by the type of the mortgage and any special lending options you used (first time home buyer's assistance, discounts for primary homes for teacher's that require you to live there a set amount of years first, etc.).Also ask your lawyer and/or accountant if you would have to pay any other taxes, such as from the "sale" of the home, zoning or HOA rules, higher property taxes for commercially owned properties, etc.

Probably the most important thing is to have a teacher with real world experience.

And while it is sometimes possible to partner with a disqualified person, in other circumstances if that is the only way your IRA can invest by partnering with yourself (in other words IRA is unable to make this investment on it's own), this is known as "enabling" and is a prohibited transaction.

Technology advancements such as email, phone calls, skype has enabled communication with a remote CPA to be seamless.

You find these teachers on youtube. 

I can see this tech-enabled rental ecosystem start to pick up steam in the near future.
